What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Lin Mushi looked at the road ahead and drove very carefully, but she still kept thinking about the conversation she had just had.

However, before she could come to a conclusion, the tall building came into view.

The cordon has been set up, the scene has been cleared, and the police are maintaining order.

The wheelchair that Lin Mushi was familiar with was waiting for the two of them at the entrance of the lobby.

She parked the car directly in front of the building and got out as quickly as possible.

Gu Yuqiu had no interest in this and walked lazily behind her, looking like a passerby, almost causing someone to stop him.

As soon as the two entered the lobby, they heard Zhong Chongshan's voice.

"You're a little late."

He waved his hand, signaling Liu Nan to push his wheelchair, and continued, "The dead have all been confirmed to be members of the Church of the Sleeping Souls. It seems you didn't discover this beforehand?"

Lin Mushi said in a low voice, "Yes."

Zhong Chongshan said expressionlessly, "This time it wasn't your dereliction of duty, but I don't want a similar situation to happen again, and I'll be the one informing you next time."

As they spoke, Liu Nan pushed the wheelchair toward the elevator, smiling gently at the two of them.

Gu Yuqiu didn't care about any of this and pretended not to hear it.

Lin Mushi apologized repeatedly, followed the wheelchair over, and then saw the scene inside the elevator.

She was stunned.

She subconsciously looked at Gu Yuqiu, because she had indeed heard about this method of death not long ago.

Zhong Chongshan didn't notice her change and said indifferently, "The scene has been preserved as it was. Go in and take a look."

Gu Yuqiu shook her head slightly and said, "I just took a shower."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Nan subconsciously turned to look at her, forcing himself not to ask her what she meant.

Lin Mushi knew her temper well and was about to speak up to smooth things over when she heard a sentence.

"They killed the people themselves."

Gu Yuqiu said calmly.

Zhong Chongshan looked into her eyes and said, "Why do you say that? The reason... Also, don't tell me that the reason behind it is complicated and requires many words to explain."

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly remembered the conversation from that night and earnestly added the following paragraph.

Gu Yuqiu patiently explained, "Headshots are a common method used by the Church of the Sleeping Souls. It's like entering a dream, which makes it easier for them."

Zhong Chongshan asked, "What was the reason for the murder, and who did it?"

Gu Yuqiu glanced at him and smiled, saying, "The murderers were of course high-ranking members of the Youmian Church. As for the reason, what else could it be but the fear that these four people would leak secrets?"

Zhong Chongshan said, "Go and find out. If you need anything, just contact me. Other departments and people will cooperate with you."

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "What kind of story should I make up to make it seem plausible, rather than unbelievable?"

"Any other discoveries?"

He looked at Gu Yuqiu and continued, "I think you can find even more, as long as you're willing to go in."

To be honest, even though he still had concerns about his subordinate's background, what happened tonight was official business, and Gu Yuqiu had proven in the previous incident involving Mr. Zhuo's death that he indeed had a sufficient understanding of the Church of the Sleeping Souls.

Most importantly, the person who made this proof was a woman named Su Yan, and her teacher was the innocent empress who stood at the top of the world.

Gu Yuqiu remained motionless, clearly indicating that he had no intention of agreeing.

Lin Mushi looked at her profile, remembered her reason for taking a bath, and bit her lower lip lightly, feeling completely lost.

Did you really kill that person?

If you killed him...

So who exactly are you?

Is the name real?

As she pondered these questions, she struggled to look away from Gu Yuqiu, and suddenly said, "I've made a discovery."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhong Chongshan and Liu Nan both looked at her.

Gu Yuqiu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile, as he looked at her.

Chapter 29: Dividing the Questions

These words came as a surprise to Zhong Chongshan, who was genuinely taken aback, and his expression turned serious.

However, he was certain that his subordinate did not understand the Church of the Sleeping Demons, or rather, all his relevant knowledge came from the Special Affairs Bureau.

Normally, this sentence shouldn't come from Lin Mushi's mouth, unless there's a connection between the matter and Gu Yuqiu.

Zhong Chongshan asked seriously, "What is it?"

Lin Mushi looked inside the elevator, pointed to a headless corpse, and said, "This person gives me a familiar feeling, as if I met him not long ago."

For some reason, Liu Nan did not look in the direction she pointed out, but instead focused her gaze on Gu Yuqiu and saw that smile.

His expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't seen anything, and he silently looked away, keeping the matter in mind.

"familiar?"

"Yes."

Zhong Chongshan looked into her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Was it a dream?"

Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback, recalling that dream that still felt so real to this moment.

A long time has passed, but she still remembers the scenes in her dream, and even the conversations are still vividly remembered... but for some reason, the face of the deity remains blurry.

Like a modern poem, it leaves a deep impression when you read it, but you start to forget it as soon as you turn around, leaving only a very faint feeling in the end.

Fortunately, although she had forgotten the face of the god, she had not forgotten the twilight, nor the night that had quietly appeared.

"Yes."

Lin Mushi nodded and said, "It was in my dream. This person was eroding my dream, but I hardly felt anything. Maybe it was just a matter of a moment?"

Zhong Chongshan was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Yuqiu and asked, "Is there a problem with her?"

Gu Yuqiu smiled slightly and said no.

“When I called you, I could tell you were fast asleep, which means you were dreaming before that, but this person died before you woke up.”

Zhong Chongshan tapped on the handrail, looking at the bloody scene inside the elevator, and said coldly, "Yet you were not affected at all."

Hearing this, Lin Mushi once again thought of the deity in her dream, and her emotions became tense. She forced herself to remain calm and replied, "Yes."

What are your thoughts?

Zhong Chongshan looked up at someone who had been silent for a long time.

Gu Yuqiu said, "Someone discovered the actions of the Sleeping Church, found these people, and was discovered during the interrogation, so they killed them themselves."

She was telling the truth, but she spoke so casually that it didn't feel serious at all.

The atmosphere among them became somewhat strange.

What's even stranger is the scene itself.

The body had not yet been disposed of, and with the indoor ventilation not turned on, a faint, pungent odor emanated from the blood.

That's probably why Gu Yuqiu was standing quite far from the elevator.

However, the other three people were standing very close, and they could even see the brain mixed in with the blood.

This attitude is really hard not to raise objections.

Lin Mushi sensed the awkward atmosphere and quickly turned to look at Gu Yuqiu, blinking at her repeatedly in a clumsy yet adorable way.

Liu Nan lowered his head slightly, seemingly trying to pretend he hadn't seen anything.

Zhong Chongshan narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "I have something I want to say to you alone."

Gu Yuqiu smiled and nodded, then walked out of the building.

After giving Liu Nan a few instructions, Zhong Chongshan pushed his wheelchair and followed behind her.

The area in front of the elevator became completely deserted, leaving only Lin Mushi looking somewhat lost and bewildered.

The next moment, Liu Nan looked up at Lin Mushi.

……

……

At four in the morning, as night deepened, the sky above Xinchu was still illuminated by lights.

However, the light was not bright enough; from a distance, it looked as if it were shrouded in a very thin layer of gray mist.

Gu Yuqiu looked at the green trees under the dim yellow light, without saying a word.

Zhong Chongshan parked his wheelchair beside her and said calmly, "Many people think I'm moody and have a bad temper, but that's not true."

Gu Yuqiu said, "So?"

Zhong Chongshan continued, "I have an exceptionally good temper with those who have proven themselves useful, like you, just like I didn't scold you just now."

Gu Yuqiu asked, "You let me out just to say these things?"

"This is the premise of our conversation."

Zhong Chongshan then asked, "Were you serious about your earlier speculation?"

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

Zhong Chongshan was silent for a while, then said, "The problem is that the Church of the Sleeping Spirit is extremely knowledgeable in the field of spirit and soul. There is no force or person in this world that can extract information from their minds."

Gu Yuqiu said, "And then?"

“Nearly four months ago, he died without any warning. Shortly afterward, a rumor emerged that he had left a sacred relic in Xin Chu.”

Zhong Chongshan looked at the silent metropolis in the night and said softly, "Then the rumors were confirmed to be true, and countless forces poured into Xin Chu, constantly searching for that sacred object, wanting to find the secret to stepping onto the top of the Ascension to Godhood."

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "That last sentence wasn't said by me."

Zhong Chongshan laughed, his tone becoming extremely mocking: "Unfortunately, until this very second, no one has ever seen that sacred object."
